Heslington Road Scheme

The property provides accommodation for six single people with mild learning difficulties who need housing with support. The scheme has 12 hours of support a week. This support can range from help with arranging benefits, budgeting, finding work, volunteering or addressing any other issues you may have.

The aim of your stay is to equip you with the skills, knowledge and confidence to move on into independent living.
